Take Your Place
for (tenacious, strong, kind) Bennet and Ruby
Partial sun
and clouds of gray,
Muted colors
take its space
Then came
the day, the time brought you
I hear your
voice, sweet, take your place.
You tilt and
totter, tumble and trip
Find a kind
hand--please hold on tight
Trust and
grow, learn and explore
Shine your
light and strive for bright
Hold a book
between your two hands
Words settle
in and you take flight
Your
brilliance, yes(!), is already within
And, dear,
let go--let go of being right
Work and
Hard will find their days
Serve them
well, they play a role
You need
them more than you may know
Do your job
and feed your soul
Put Ego
aside and let kindness in
For those days
when the sun will rise
The world
will hold all hearts and thoughts
Solace you’ll
find in compromise
Revel in
sillies without regard
Sit beside
souls who love your light
Fill your
heart-store with the Great that I know
Use it as warmth--the
cold will sometimes bite
This world
has joy because of YOU
Your story
is grand--started with my embrace
Own your days,
the time all yours
You are loved. Now, take your amazing-place.
